Can anyone give me a brief explanation, or guide me to a website on DeMark Indicator? Help greatly appreciated.
The formula used in the calculation of the Tom DeMark "Pivot Points" are: The value of X in the formula below depends on where the Close of the market is. If Close < Open then X = (H + (L * 2) + C) If Close > Open then X = ((H * 2) + L + C) If Close = Open then X = (H + L + (C * 2)) R1 = X / 2 - L PP = X / 4 (this is not an official DeMark number but merely a reference point based on the calculation of X) S1 = X / 2 - H Where R1 is the upper Resistance level, PP is the Pivot Point, S1 is the lower support level.

It starts here ... Coding DeMark Indicators I personally don't use his methods, but learning his approach can't hurt your education. I just found that there was plentyof money to be made while waiting around for one of his reversal trades.
